Re: Please Help!!! Fuel Mixture Problem...
Just wanted to add my thanks to this forum & kidgrok. my daughters 2000 Focus SE recently passed 80k and started to rough idle & throw P0171 codes. after doing the basics, searching for vacuum leaks, that engine is noisey, hard to hear vacuum hiss. but checked the standard hoses no leak. changed both Upstream & downstream O2 sensors and even swapped in a know good DPFE, nothing changed. Found this thread and located the hose that kidgrok mentioned, BINGO the back end near the block on the backside has a hole. wrapped with duct tape, everything is good again. Will be ordering the part this week. Thanks all!!!

Old Focuses Need Love Too
It's always nice to know this information is still available and helping people; so chill please, AltecZX2. New threads would not necessarily convey that message.
Anyway, gotta love this Internet thang!! |

Re: Please Help!!! Fuel Mixture Problem...
 KIDGROK ...PLEASE HELP!My 2000 Focus LX has the same rough idle/stalling problem. It has the 2.0 L Single Port engine. I looked behind the engine at the intake manifold area, but can't seem to find this magical rubber elbow you all are talking about. Can you be more specific about where it is located, a better explanation, picture, or drawing to lilizard7399@msn.com? Thanks, Liz |

Re: Please Help!!! Fuel Mixture Problem...
Wow. Glad I found this. Six years from first post, and I'm having the same problem with a 2001 Ford Focus. Like others have said, right now it's more of an annoyance than a problem. The car will go, and it will restart if it goes dead. I will look for the vacuum leak but I doubt I could replace the elbow myself. Anybody know how much a mechanic would charge?
By the way, I learned the hard way to always check the Internet first when you're having Ford problems. Taking it to the dealership can cost you dearly. A few years back, I paid for a new alternator plus other fixes before the dealer told me that my problem was a bad fuel pump. Then he was going to charge me to replace it when the part was a recalled part! When I found that on the Internet, he fixed it for free, of course. But wonder what the dealer would have done if I hadn't seen it online. |
